Ryan Gander: How To Live The Creative Life
Artist Ryan Gander believes that there is too much of a "fear factor" around the idea of art. For his edition of Artsnight, Ryan proposes that everybody can be a creative artist.
Internationally-renowned conceptual artist Ryan Gander believes that there is too much of a "fear factor" around the idea of art. He has spent his career creating provocative and fun works that blur the lines between "high art" and everyday life. For his edition of Artsnight, Ryan proposes that everybody can be a creative artist. Ryan explores an artistic colony that is inspired by the 19th century "arts and crafts" movement and John Ruskin, where even the most mundane objects can be works of aesthetic wonder. He also travels to Berlin to meet the world-famous artist Olafur Eliasson, who is fascinated by the links between cookery and creativity - and has even published his own cook book! And finally, Ryan shows that even brushing a floor can be a beautiful experience.
